DuraPro® is the leading U.S. brand of high performance adhesives and coatings for industrial, contractor and do-it-yourself (DIY) customers worldwide.

DuraPro® products are all environmentally friendly and are customized to your specific needs, using the latest innovations in chemistry. We specialize in transitioning manufacturing processes to newer adhesive technologies that reduce labor, work-in-process and defect rates. Astro Adhesives will partner with your equipment and substrate suppliers to ensure a smooth transition.

DuraPro® products are manufactured in nine plants located throughout North America and Europe. Our experienced technical representatives specialize in your industry and will use their knowledge of the latest developments in science to find a solution best suited to your requirements. We also have an applications lab in Chicago with full scale production lines to demonstrate or test products without using up your valuable production time.

While foam to foam applications provide easier solutions for bonding materials, bonding foam to a different substrate such as wood or metal can create challenges and require different adhesive solutions.  Luckily, foam applications using hot melt adhesives aren’t new and have a long history of formulation and testing.  Contact Astro Adhesives to talk with an adhesive specialist who can recommend the right adhesive for your material and application.
